Garrett, Sparano will interview with Falcons Friday

Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will interview with the Atlanta Falcons for their head coaching position on Friday in Dallas.

Assistant head coach/offensive line Tony Sparano will also interview with the Falcons on Friday in Dallas. Friday is an off day for the players and the coaches will work on and off. The vacancy was created when Bobby Petrino left to become head coach at Arkansas.

Garrett has been an assistant in the NFL for three years, including one year as a coordinator, but became a hot commodity with the Cowboys' success this season.

Sparano's offensive line produced three Pro Bowlers this season in Leonard Davis, Andre Gurode and Flozell Adams.

Garrett said Wednesday afternoon he has not been contacted by the Baltimore Ravens.
